Yogoda Satsanga Society of India

June 2017

Welcome to the June 2017 edition of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India eNewsletter. This month we share inspiring thoughts from Paramahansa Yogananda on spiritual progress.

Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda on Spiritual Progress

In the material world, all successes are known by their tangible, though often short-lasting, results. But in the spiritual path all results, being primarily psychological, are intangible. They are real, nonetheless, and everlastingly beneficial. Spiritual results begin as subtle transformations in the consciousness of the inner being.

Saints are sinners who did not give up. No matter what your difficulties, if you do not give up, you are making progress.

A common cause of spiritual discouragement is the devotee’s expectation that God’s response will come in a great blaze of awe-inspiring inner illumination. This erroneous notion dulls the devotee’s perception of the subtle divine responses that are present from the very beginning of one’s meditative practices.

God responds to the devotee’s every effort, every devotional call. Even as a novice, you will realise this in your own seeking if you learn to recognize Him as the quiet, inner peace that steals over your consciousness. This peace is the first proof of God’s presence within. You will know it is He who has guided and inspired you to some right decision in your life.

You will feel His strength empowering you to overcome bad habits and nurture spiritual qualities. You will know Him as the ever-increasing joy and love that surges deep within, overflowing into your everyday life and relationships.

In this video excerpt, Sri Sri Mrinalini Mata, YSS/SRF president and sanghamata, answers with characteristic warmth the common concern of many on the spiritual path—how to know you are making spiritual progress.
